Daniel Wood, a Columbus homeless man and spray-can-sniffer, was set on fire after police Tasers to “barbecue” and let the bum have it

One day after officers received Tasers this week, two of them were patting out the flames on Daniel Wood, a 31-year-old homeless man who reportedly had been inhaling a chemical from a spray can to get high. Wood was not seriously injured but was taken to a hospital as a precaution, said Lancaster Police Chief David Bailey.

“Clearly, this is not the way we’d hoped to get started,” Bailey said. “But I’m glad the suspect is OK, and this gives us an opportunity to review how we will do things from this point.”

Can we say: “MOST AWESOME MUG SHOT EVER?”

Let’s Taser some more bums if it means we got mugs like this! I think Daniel Wood has a future in “Law & Order SVU” casting.
